In this case I would guess it's the fourth possibility listed on the MisbehavingServers page, "The download site no longer has the file, and does not indicate this with the correct response code."

So I would guess pear-TCPDF should be deleted and a new port should be created named TCPDF or perhaps php-TCPDF, which would install in whatever way is usual. (I don't know much about PHP packaging, sorry.)
